Our first time taking an overnight ferry from Helsinki, Finland to Stockholm, Sweden!
We took a 17 hours ferry on the the Tallink Silja Symphony Cruise ship.
We were surprised by the cruise ship! It looked like a shopping mall, with a casino and bars!
We had a private cabin, and enjoyed a dinner buffet.
People told us this would be a booze cruise, with bands, karaoke, and clubs on board.
Check out our experience on this overnight ferry.

There's zoo near by Stockholm called Kolmården and in Stockholm there's this place called Skansen, there's aquarium, zoo, open air museum... Definitely check more information from the internet if there's something you guys would like to see... During summertime, there's multiple sing-along concerts in Skansen that locals love to go to called Allsång på Skansen, even the royal family members attend sometimes and those concerts are broadcasted live to Finland too. Vasa museum is a must, there's a huge intact 1600's warship on display, the ship sunk during it's maiden voyage in 1628 and was lifted in 1961 the ship is in amazing condition and worth a visit. There's also swedish crown jewels on display in or actually underneath the Royal palace in the vaults of Royal treasury (skattkammaren) Too bad that Gröna Lund amusement park isn't opened yet...

@That's what 50% of people go to do on the cruises. You can buy tickets for a cruise where you go from Finland to Sweden (or vice versa) and back and don't go on shore for 10-20€, but if you want to use same ship for travelling, it's about 50-70€ from the top of my head. Just to get people to spend on booze and other stuff. People also go on the cruises to buy tax free tobacco and booze.

Reason why buffet is always full is because it includes unlimited beer and wine included.

Fun fact. When the Symphony (and it´s sister ship, the Serenade) started operating, it was the world´s largest ro-ro ferry. Also the center promenade was something that was said to be impossible to make or at least be very unsafe, but the Finnish ship design engineers decided otherwise. Enjoy Sweden! Try to catch a football match while there!

A common misconception about Schengen area that might be worth clarifying, is that it does not mean no border checks or border security, quite to the contrary, it is a stronger unified outer border, when members have agreed to focus all border check efforts on the border facing outside of Schengen area and not inside it. Meaning the whole Schengen area is protected with a stronger more unified border control, by freeing up the resources from border control between the member nations. This however does not mean that a Schengen member nation can't ramp up and restart the border control between borders inside the area, it is just saved for crisis, since it is such a waste of time and money otherwise. For example, during the refugee and covid crisis even many borders inside Schengen area were temporarily re-activated on a needs basis Btw, pancakes for breakfast is a North American thing, don't expect to find if outside NA unless they are regularly serving NA tourists

@lindiksen Месяц назад

As a Finn I've been to the cruise ships probably 30 times in my life, ever since I was a kid (obviously it wasn't a booze cruise then, there is actually a lot of stuff for kids to do on the boats as well). And from my later experience I can tell that the people who were carrying the beer boxes were taking those to their cabin to drink them, because it's much cheaper than to drink in the pubs there... Everyone knows that the boat "rules" say that you can't do that, but they still do 😅 Glad that you visited Finland and that you'll be back! And next time try Finnish pea soup (hernekeitto) with mustard, it's something that I think every Finnish person has eaten in their life and either love or hate, mostly love 🥰

4:15 The buffet is worth it if you pick the most expensive items and drink the more expensive alcoholic drinks. But unless you do, you can get a cheaper meal in one of the restaurants aboard. Oh and if you book a fancier cabin (commodore or above), a premium breakfast, lounge access with all sorts of food and drink plus a fully stocked minibar in your cabin are included. It can be a pretty good deal outside the most popular cruise season when cabins are less expensive.

The most important thing about the Schengen Area that you need to know is that you as non-Schengen Area citizens are allowed to stay in it ONLY for 90 days in a 180 day period. So make sure you keep record the number of days you spend in the Schengen Area. Oh, yeah Bulgaria and Romania are also part of it so decide to go there the same 90 day rule apply.

90% of Canadians live hugging the southern border of the country. 4 hours would be enough for them to visit the USA and get back home for pancakes. If it's just a one way trip of four hours, you can increase the percentage further. So, as vast as Canada is, most of them can very easily visit a foreign country.

Going between different Nordic/Scandinavian countries is easy beacuse they are more or less "Sibling countries". It has little to do with the Schengen agreement. It's more historical than that and goes way back when we all used to be pretty much the same people. Way back as in like the Viking age. Moving/working/traveling between our countries requires nothing other than being a citizen of one of the others. It's like going from your home, to your other family memebers home.

Viking Line for sure is a bit of a party boat, I go on theme cruises twice per year (Turku - Stockholm) where we have metal bands and all kinds of other fun stuff (Burlesque, bellydancing, stand up comedy, hangover bingo (which I host)). Haven't been on a Silja Lines cruise since I was a little kid tbh. The Viking Line cruises do also have just normal people in them every time, even though it's a theme cruise. Lots of old people and lots of kids that are part of some sort of sports teams (probably soccer or ice hockey or something) and it's a bit of a culture shock to venture out from the areas that are full of heavy metal people. Buffet meals are always pricey on boats, I do recommend checking out what kinds of food options there are on the boats if you take another cruise in the future. One thing that is a must for me is a shrimp sandwich! Usually I find some kind of cake at some point as well and my friends roll their eyes and say "you're supposed to be drinking instead of eating!" :D We're big on buying booze from the cruise ships, and especially Finnish people buy snus and/or nicotine pouches. Snus isn't sold in Finland, and nicotine pouches are much cheaper on the boats, so we hoard them. For us Finns clean water from any tap is a no-brainer, even in a cruise ship! And yes, our pancakes are more like crepes, we don't do the thicc pancakes like North Americans do. There's also oven pancake, which is thicker, usually served on Thursdays for dessert after pea soup. We do love our cruises, and we also love going from one country to another with no hassle. I don't even have a passport atm, haven't had one for years, and I've travelled to Estonia, Denmark, Sweden and Norway without having to show my ID at all. Well, during covid times I did have to show my ID when I returned to Finland, and my vaccine card and then had to explain that I wasn't able to get the third shot because I got some weird side effects and then my doctor told me not to get the third one, almost wasn't allowed to come back to Finland lol. We had checked if we need to have proof of vaccines when going to Norway and Sweden, never thought to check out if we needed to have proof when coming back home :D

The passport rules are more liberal than in Schengen: one just needs to proof the identity. You as foreigners need to have a passport and keep record how long you are allowed to stay.

You can occationally find pancakes for breakfast, but overall Pancakes and different versions of it is typically served more for Lunch/dinner, often together with soup.

Fresh water on the ship comes from the shore (both Helsinki and Stockholm have very good tap water), and should the tanks run out for any reason, the ship can also make fresh water from seawater.

Vasa Museum is a must in Stockholm. I always show my Brasilian college's the Museum and it's always a hit 👍

Unfortunately HIFK out in 7th game (game also ended 4-3, so close), so it's now Tampere, Kuopio, Oulu and Lahti what you have left. In case of "not have to travel too much" I guess you have to hope Tappara - Pelicans final series between Tampere and Lahti (~133km), other distances varies between about 300km to 500km 😁(Semifinal pairs are Tappara - Kalpa and Kärpät - Pelicans)

The last time I was on a ship was sometime as a child. Alcohol seems to be still almost free there, compared to the prices in Finland. 1 liter of Finlandia vodka, I don't even dare to think what it costs here. Is one of the most expensive brands

@hamswakii Месяц назад

Hope you didn't get scammed by the Stockholm taxis. Official looking taxis are a big problem there. They've been known to charge 100 bucks or more for short distances.

@JetLagWarriors Месяц назад

We have been using bolt app. Our experience in every countrybhas been basically the same: the taxis hanging around airports, bus stations, sporting venues etc are usually charging very high price. We tend to avoid them.

Kind of fun to see you guys get to experience a cruise across Östersjön, has been a long time ago since I am blackslisted from all cruises. Let´s just say that I did throw some furniture in to the ocean. I was not very fun to be detained and drunk on a cruise I can tell you that much.

188€ is pretty expensive, I think I had a similar cabin, breakfast, and evening buffet last time with that price for 2 persons. It was 62€ overnight trip to Tallinn with a car parked on the ship on last Saturday. The buffee was 29€. These ships get the money mainly by selling booze and cigarettes and snus.

Hi! If Leksands IF wins the quarter finals you should visit Leksand. It's a small town with a big hockey culture, they love their team hockey team Leksands IF. Btw the team's colours are the same as the Leafs. You're videos are awesome!

Finns don't drink Finlandia in Finland (usually) but it's being sold and the bottle is nice so some people buy it. It's in the taxfree store for swedes mostly. It's just rebranded Koskenkorva vodka honestly for international markets (and the license is owned by americans)

If Kalpa wins you'd get an excuse to visit Kuopio as well. It's not a very pretty town at this time of year though. Much better at summer or mid winter. But, well, that applies to pretty much any town around here. I doubt we can win Tappara but fingers crossed.
